Hi, Great job on the Eurofox project!!! One question... is it my impression, or the external model is a little short on the longitudinal axe? It is more apparent if you compare the angle of the nose gear strut on the 3K model. Don't know how to add screenshots on this forum... sorry. Best regards Hi! Thanks The two models are of same length...It is practically the same fuselage. The wings are a bit different; in the 2K model they are slightly swept forward... To upload a screenshot you should click on the 'Add Attachment' tab up to the right of the post window (up and right the the fonts selection strip). You can also add a photo via a URL - click on the 'Insert Image' icon (the square picture symbol in the right side of the font selection strip). Change your World Scale in FlyInside to 90% it will fix the scale issue. The size of the model is correct, there's just something in FlyInside that messes up a few models.

I'm currently training in an Aerotrek (US version of EuroFOX), and using your model in X-plane 11. One real difference I note is that the Aerotrek requires a lot of attention to stick and rudder use for coordinated flight. This doesn't seem to be the case in the model. Perhaps because I am new to both simulation and real flight, this is the cause of my confusion. Any advice?

Hi There are realism settings in X-Plane, in which you can define the sim to be "most realistic" and with the need to apply specific attention to aircraft moments (and coordinated flight). Check these settings and verify that the bars are set to be "most realistic". The Eurofox simulation is pretty much convincing in the coordinated flight aspect...especially when flying slow (the full length flaperons are contributing to the challenge). Please let me know if you know how to check these settings, and if you are still experiencing a "solid coordinated" aircraft feeling (should not occur). Thanks for reaching out!

As a relative newcomer to X-Plane 11 I can't find any bars to obtain "most realistic" settings. Could some-one please help? Thanks!

vhmal : As far as I know XP11 does not have any realism settings available in the options menu. JetManHuss might be refering to a previous version of X-Plane (10?). If your framerate is low you can try to increase the Flight models per frame to improve the accuracy of the flight dynamics calculation. If you're around 30 FPS, the default setting (2) should be fine. This setting is available in the option menu -> General -> Flight models per frame (slider). ----- VSL A220 EuroFOX V003.6 (XP11):I'd like to report a tiny animation issue with the right flaperon: the balance weights (?) attached to the hinges are not animated when actuating the flaperon. The left flaperon is correctly animated. Nitpicking: would it be possible to disable the rudder and flaperons trim commands in a future version? (I know I should just patch myself and not touching those commands but it would improve the overall realism ) What a lovely aircraft. I can't stop flying it

Go to settings - Joystick - control sensitivity (click button is down below). You will get to the control sensitivity window, which is also the setting for maximum realism. Screenshot attached: Animation issue with balance weights: Known issue, already fixed, the update is pending...should be during August 2017. Thanks guys for the inputs!

Thanks guys - really appreciate your help!
I've been trying to decide which plane to buy first, and I think it will be the EuroFOX, closely followed by the DC-3, closely followed by the Tecnam, closely followed by the ........
I entirely agree with bourrinpathe and his comments - great aircraft and great support.
And this Forum is one of the best out there, especially for XP 11, particularly due to JetManHuss!
Thanks everyone.

Hi, I know that you are completely concerned about your masterpiece, the DC3, (and we are waiting for updates anxiously too, indeed) but could we hope that you'll find a moment to put a new artificial horizon in this big little plane?

Hi there! Yes, the DC-3 is really a complex project...but I am not completely concerned only about it LOL The EuroFOX requires a deeper work with its internal object architecture, to include the upgrades in the cockpit, but I need to 'clean up the desk' a bit first, before I dive in. There are also some other issues and enhancements that the EuroFOX is awaiting for, mainly on the interior and exterior 3d modeling, and user interaction (switches, systems). Oh...and thanks to the DC-3 FMOD project, the EuroFOX FMOD update is *almost ready*, so the future is promised with this amazing "big little plane" Thanks for "ringing the bell" though JetManHuss.

Hi JetManHaus. Is there any plan to create the A240 with tundra tires variant (http://www.aerotrek.aero/pricing.htm) ? Great plane, otherwise, and it flies very well.
Thanks!

Thanks ...sorry for the delayed response! Well, I have no particular plans to add tundras to the a240. This package will have an extreme makeover in a few months, I will note down your request! Thanks

Hi! say hello to Brazil, folks!
First of all, GREAT PLANE. Delicious to fly!
I kinda have a problem. The taildragger version sometimes tends to roll rapidly when I touch the runway in a three point landing attempt. The speed is OK, controls OK also, but it rolls violently, causing the wingtip to hit the ground. It happens randomly, and I cannot control the plane when this happens.
sorry for my bad english! thank you guys.

It happens randomly, and I cannot control the plane when this happens. sorry for my bad english! thank you guys. Hi Your English is great! I think that you might have stalled the plane. 3 point landing requires to touchdown at low airspeed, and higher angle of attack. You should monitor airspeed and not let it too slow, or else you may get the wing into a stall.The rapid roll is occurring while one wing is loosing lift over the other, and drops down. Make sure that you do this kind of landing with full flaps down, it will "buy" you a few more knots, reducing the stalling speed. I will take it soon to a ride, re evaluate its 3 point landing performance, and if needed, I will tune it a bit, for the next update. Thanks for your input ! JetManHuss
